Rear Jerry Can Holder? - Land Rovers Only

brandoninaz · 04-26-2008, 10:23 PM

Could anyone tell me where I can find a rear door mounted jerry can holder? I've got a 1971 Series IIA, below is a picture of the rear to give you an idea what I'm working with.

Thanks

Any jerry can holder would work. British pacific has some.

Maybe you have something specific in mind. All i've ever seen is just flat and angle steel frames bolted straight to the body.

I couldn't find any either, I plan to make my own for my trailer. Jim

Find a picture of the rear of any military series landrover. You should see what appear to be rear bumpers on either side of the tailgate. They are actually jerry can holders.
They are simply a base that holds the bottom of the jerry and a strap holds them down.
The rear door is not really strong enough to carry the spare wheel under they went to 3 hinges. It will not take the weight of jerry cans.

I have a Jerry can holder on the back of my door. Works just fine. (since I replaced the skin and drilled the holes though the frame in stead of the skin like the PO had done. It ended up tearing the skin..... )

I just grabbed a couple from the scrap metal bin at the motor pool needed a little straightening but the price was right

you can't not find these.. they even have them at amazon.
I've found them at department stores before. if the OP wanted a rover specific mount.. well.. i don't think thats a thing. especially with the flat surfaces.

Thanks for all the replies guys, I'll probably just end up going with a bumper mounted can holder. Seems to be the easier way to go, and easier on the car.
